I download a PDF from the internet within the IPAD and have the URL or I add it to Annotate PDF. I try to then move it to a notebook but that cannot be done for some reason.
If you have the URL, copy it, then open Notebooks, move to the book where you want to store the PDF, tap the "+" button and select "New from Pasteboard". Notebooks asks if you want to import the document from the URL or just save the bookmark. Select "Import" and Notebooks will download the PDF from that URL.
There are a few alternatives:
1) on the iPad (or iPhone on iOS4), Safari will ask you if you want to open the PDF in a different application; Notebooks should be one of the options
2) many third party apps offer an "Open in..." option, which should list Notebooks
If 1&2 are not available although Notebooks is installed we would recommend to restart the iPad/iPhone.
Running IOS 5, when a Dropbox app-generated link to a PDF of the form "http:--db.tt-Sf..." (where "-" are slashes) is in the pasteboard, Notepad claims there is nothing to import. That's not useful! Is it because the URL doesn't end in ".pdf" or that it's a ".tt" domain?
Also, when a PDF is open in Notebooks, e.g. due to following a link in a note, there seems to be no way to "save" the PDF being viewed as a note in the current book. That would have handled the problem for me in this case.
I need a way to import Lifescribe PDFs of handwritten notes into Notebooks.
